Provisions of the Hazen Bill Again
Before the Legislators.

CONCORD, n. H., Nov. AIN the House
this afternoon the Senate bill to insure the
building of the Lake Shore railroad permit-
ting the Boston. Concord & Montreal rail-
road to assist in its construction was passed
under suspension of the rules.
The amendments adopted by the Senate
yesterday to the Dover & Winnipiseogee
railroad extension bill were unanimously
concurred in.
The Senate amendments to the bill passed
by the House, regulating fares and freights,
were then called up. These amendments
contain substantially the provisions of the
Hazen bill relating to minority and dissent
ing stockholders
Mr.. Marston of Exeter said that these
amendments were not german to the. bill,
and were consequently in violation of the
agreement made when the deadlock was
broken two weeks ago, by which no new gen.
eral railroad legislation was to be introduced
this session, without general consent. The
bill, as passed by the House, secured cheap
fares and freights, which all the members
desired, and the only way to save these pro-
visions was to non-concur. He moved that
conference committee be appointed.
Mr.. Colby of Claremont differed with the
gentleman as to the effect of the agreement,
and he hoped the House would concur in the
amendments.
Mr.. Branch of Weare said that the only
| effect Of the amendments was to cure the de-
| feet in the Colby" bill of 1888, by prOvid-
| ing for dissentient stockholders.
Mr.. Quimby of Guilford and Mr., Daniel of
| Franklin spoke briefly in support of the
amendments, after which the House ad-
| journed until p. IN.
| In the Senate the railroad committee unan-
| imously reported the bill amending the char
| ter of the Upper Coos railroad. by giving
| that corporation practically the same right
| to enter upon and use the iron of connecting
railroads as provided for in the Hazen bill.
The bill was passed under suspension of
| the rules.
The discussion of railroad measures in the
| House this forenoon would seem to indicate
that there is little probability of final ad-
| journment at this time, although many lead
ers of the Boston & Maine side assert that
the session will close in the morning.
Declared Unconstitutional.

of 1874 to 115, resolutions declaring the Gov

was present. Henry George, DR.. McGlynn
and others spoke. George and McGlynn
aroused great enthusiasm. The latter caused
a sensation by confirming the rumors to the
effect that the church was about to reconsid
er its action toward him. He said he felt he
had been doing Christian ministraton ever
since his retirement from the pulpit and was
as much priest as ever. Still, his desire
was to minister at the holy affairs of religion
and he would make no secret of the fact
that steps were being taken to repair the
outrage committed against him. He pre-
dicted that before long certain officials in
the city would be called to account for the
blunders they had made. After election
there would be no more circulars read from
church altars against the United Labor par

Several Episcopal clergymen, belonging to
the Society of Clergymen for the Advance
ment of the Interests of Labor, met yester-
day morning at Calvary church, Rev. DIR. Il.
+. DeCosta in the chair. Edward King was
introduced, and spoke in behalf Of the COM
mittee Of the Central Labor Union, and of
District Assembly No. 40, appealing to the
clergymen to use their influence with the
governor Of Illinois in behalf of the Chica-
go Anarchists. Mr.. Bing thought that there
were other reasons besides justice why exec
utive clemency should be exercised. He
feared the result of the execution would be
disastrous, and he would not be held respOn-
sible for the result after having done all in
his power to prevent 1t.
DR.. DeCosta asked the meeting to suggest
some way of helping the condemned men,
recognizing the seriousness and Importance
Of the situation. Then the Rev. Father
Huntington read q copy Of a letter that he
had written to Gov. OgleSby, asking for
clemeney, and he then moved that petition
to Gov. Oglesby be drafted and circulated
among Episcopal clergymen for their sigma
lures, asking for clemeney. The motion was
adopted.
The committee of the federated trades
having in charge the appeal for clemency for
the Chicago Anarchists, met last night at
No. 145 Eighth street. 1t was reported that
the Cuban workingmen had raised S1200 for
the condemned men, and that Justus Schwab
had issued an appeal for aid. 1t was resolv-
ed to send committee, consisting Of Rev.
Father Huntington, Robert G.. Ingersoll, and
John Swint0n, to the governor OF Illinois to
ask for mercy for the seven men. Col In
gersoll, however. denies the report that he
has been retained by the Federation of
Trades to go to Springfield and plead with
Gov. Oglesby for clemency for the Con-
demned Anarchists.

Riotous EIouuence.

Labor Party this evening, S. E. Shetivitch,
editor of the Leader, said: 81 am expected
to make campaign speech but cannot bring
myself to speak calmly. November 11th,
the greatest crime, the most atrocious mur-
der ever perpetrated, is fixed to take place
In Chicago. But if this base murder is COM
mitted, the end will soon follow. IL these
heroes be hanged, the days of all those con-
cerned in their outrageous murder will be
reckoned. The day is not far off when they
will have to answer for the blood they have
shed by every speck Of life in their worthless
bodies. Cheers and cries Of kill Them"

mems lives will not harm the cause. Let
them kill 81 900, and out Of their graves TO-

times worse than the late civil war will fol-

BaIfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, init
mated il the House Of Commons this
evening that the government would to-
morrow introduce a dill making better
provision for the prevention and punish
ment OF crime in Ireland.
Sir John Goest, Parliamentary Secre-
tsry for Indis, stated that no
corps of observation was be
ing formed by the Indian government
for duty on the frontier of Piscbeen, Dis
trict OF Afghanistan. The government had
no reason to believe Russia was design
ing an invasion of Afghanistgn.
Lord George Hamilton, First Lord OF
Admiralty, announced that new rules
would be issued in ali English dock yards
for the protection Of confidential infor-
nation from acquiSion by foreign powers.
Right Hon. W H. Smlth, First Lord Of
the Treasury, gave notice the govern
ment would move that the new Irish
crimes bill have precedence over all
orders.
John Morley gave notice that he would
move an amendment to the governments
motion, to the effect that the House de-
cline to set aside business in favor Of q
measure Increasing the stringency Of law
in Ireland, whilst no effective security
was ta&en against she abuse of law by
the exaCtiOn OF excessive rents. MOrley's
notice WAS received with loud cheers By

erCiOn bill VIII be opp sed to the utter
most by the combined strength of Glad

promises an early statement Of land pro-
pOssls, but the opposition are determined
not to permit the introduction of the Co
ercion bill until the land question has
been dealt with. The miDiSterialists ad-
nit their inability to enforce the new
Cloture rules without prOtracted debate.
The GladstOnisns greeted with derisive
laughter Mr.. Smiths statement that he
hoped to reach the second reading of the
bill Monday.

piled to be allowed to attend Father KEEL
Ter and supply him with champagne if his
